Costco Down Jacket Group Buy.

[halfastronomical]

Costco Down Jacket group buy...

update: I just went to the store and found out that there are actually 13 Jackets in total, all in XL size. All slate green. The manager took an additional $2 off the price if I buy all 13, so It will be a $38 grand total shipped to your door.

I will add a spreadsheet or checklist to keep up with who has claimed, paid, etc. It should be fairly easy to keep up with. If we do not get 13 orders, I will still keep the price at $38 and it will be a late Christmas present from my family to you.

If you claim, please pay by the next day, so I can expedite this and ship as soon as possible. If you do not pay by the next day, I will try to contact you and see what is up before removing your claim. I hope that this all goes smoothly and that some folks have the magical experience like the first time I wore a down jacket.

They are 800 fill goose down and weigh around 11oz.

The color is Slate Green. Size XL

Here is a BPL link that gives some photos and information:

Here is the cost breakdown:

Jacket: $28 plus 8% tax which is $2.40
shipping is:

$5.90
Priority Mail™
Legal Flat Rate Envelope
15" x 9-1/2"

$1.46 paypal fees (Pay Pal payment is required)

$.24 charge for incidentals/gas/labels/etc according to HF rules.. (Rules say I can charge up to 50 cents...i just used .24 to make an even total)


So the grand total is

$38.00 even

I will buy all that they have and send them out. Orders will be taken and they will be first come first serve. Like I said they said they have 13 left and I will buy all they have. If any of the 13 are sold when I go to pick them up, last person ordering will not receive a jacket but their funds will be refunded via Pay Pal.


This is my first group buy, so bear with me. If I did something wrong, just give me a holla. I am bad at math, so I would appreciate it... :)

just post here with: "I will take one" and you are in line.

Thanks!

I will update the list.
2 XL's left

[gfortune]

I'll take one, thanks.

[halfastronomical]

I'll take one, thanks.

I am updating the list right now. I spent an exciting Saturday night packing these up and addressing them. They make nice pillows stuffed into these Priority Mail envelopes too.
Thanks!

That leaves one last XL. and we are done.

[halfastronomical]

Also, I would like to add: These will all ship on Monday after work if I get off work on time. That being said, It will be a MONDAY and something crazy always happens on Monday, so I will guarantee that they will be shipped at LEAST by Tuesday. Thanks to everybody for paying quickly and making this go very smoothly. If all goes well. everybody should have their down jackets by Thursday via priority mail. ENJOY!!!

[smopoim86]

I'll take one of there's still one left

[halfastronomical]

Here is the final list! All are spoken for now. I DO have 1 extra size L (that I was holding for somebody that decided against it because it was too big) left if anybody wants it. It is new with tags and the same slate green color.

14? Gfortune (size large)


All will ship by Tuesday at noon.

[gfortune]

A large, you say? I was a little undecided on the xl so I'll take the large as well. The one I like the fit of less will make a great gift.

[GDM]

If you still have an XL unspoken for, or something falls through, I'll take it.

[halfastronomical]

All packages were shipped today at 9 am besides 1 shipment which was paid for today and will go out thursday. I hope that you all are happy with the jackets. I wore mine today while taking the day off work to make smoked pepper relish! I am closing this thread, but if you have any questions or problems, just send me an IM. Have a blessed day.
